Semaglutide shots

My surgeon is allowing me to go to the specialist and get the needles for shots. Is this a good or bad thing. How long can you take them.

    All good questions for the specialist (Endocrinologist?) But this is a long term med and you should plan accordingly!

    You should know rather quickly (a month or so) if it’s working for you. Speak with your specialist about all of your concerns.
